Posted September 2, 20177 yr comment_529463 Saw this article about winter grade gas coming two weeks early. Hot weather + winter grade could = hot start/heat soak. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-09-01/valero-seeks-texas-help-to-ship-more-gasoline-after-harvey Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/58446-winter-grade-is-coming/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 2, 20177 yr comment_529464 I read that article earlier today, too. Didn't understand the need to pump winter gas two weeks early and why the pipeline owner is being difficult with Valero. One would think gas stations would want gas, unless they make more jacking the price and claiming shortages.

September 2, 20177 yr comment_529471 "Unless they make more money claiming shortages". Me thinks you are correct Sir! We have a Colonial pipeline tank farm in Birmingham, right down the road from my area. We have pretty cheap fuel prices in North Alabama. When you all go to the winter mix what is it lacking? If you get a higher octane does that even it out? Or is there more than 10% ethanol? Thanks.

Cliff, for perspective, the Valero station just down the road from where I'm sitting is selling unleaded regular for $3.49 a gallon today. Think there's any profit?
